Come on it's not that hard....... can't wait any more...
Double Tap Shifters
Repeated Sicilian blow two the head for changes (6,3,..8.)
Mafia' s favourite excecution method is the Double tap two rapid bullet straight to the head; for changes - shifters
Want another??
The French, work of leading England, Good Queen encourages us without a spot in twisted race for the orient (7,2,8)
Well, I guess it would have been very easy if I'd been familiar with Mafia execution methods........... geez! It wasn't for lack of trying that I didn't get it.

le - the, french work toil Leading England of - de (french again) Good Queen - Bess, eggs without g spot, Twisted is the anagram clue, for the orient gives the last e.
Was a toughie but I thought a bit easier than the double tap,
I;ve just started a LOONNGGGG night shift...give us some more
In shack, lives awfully. Drops south, begins to regurgitate pie at Nordic home A&E. (4,10)
Levi Leipheimer. lives anagram with s dropped, L (presumably 'begins to' = 'learner'), pie backwards, heim (except this is germanic, nordic for home is hjem?), and ER. In Team Radioshack.

No bother, Stefano. The ''Father Christmas laughs at half my scottish star (3)'' clue works a little like this:
Father Christmas laugh : Ho ho ho...
half my = y (i.e. half the word)
So the laugh plus half of my turns into Hoy.
That ''cycling, maybe (7)'' clue looks classic to me...it's one of those clues you get (or not) when your brain decides to look at it from a different angle. So sometimes the best thing to do is forget about it completely - and then revisit it later. Somehow, you always approach it with a slightly different mindset and that just might unlock it...
If it wasn't for the fact that posts with the word ''pursuit'' surround this clue, I'd think of this as an answer. Cycling is a pursuit, the event you're competing in may be a pursuit. And it's conveniently got 7 letters.
So that's 2 criteria fulfilled. The 3rd one - getting the right answer - might be a little more elusive...
thought of pursuit but couldn't justify it. u purist ?
touring (with routing as alternative) but similarly can't justify it
repeats --> etapers again can't justify it.
Maybe = perhaps.. was there ever a cyclist shappers ? I know there was a shaepers or something similar.
If you take the two words together, then "mangy bicycle" is an anagram of "cycling maybe"
stumped..

If this is 'tubular' (a reference to Oldfield's Tubular Bells) it doesn't make sense as a cryptic (ringing meaning a tube? come on!)
Tubular......;
Tubular bells....without the ringing - I thought it was okay..sorry :roll: :roll:
Don't mind me I'm just cranky

But L'étoile de Bessèges fits nicely.
Though I don't understand the 'de' part. Le and toil, Bess eggs without a g-spot - the rest is just a blur to me
Assuming we're right, Ruth, set us a clue - I'd never have got it.
Exactly

Eleven go round on a chase (4,7)

Team pursuit?
If it's correct then I give you:
Father Christmas laughs at half my scottish star (3)
I haven't thought up a clue in readiness - feel free to take my turn....
Team persuit was more my level :oops:
